When I started my business six years ago, the aim was for it to be a stop-gap between corporate jobs while I focussed on being a mum.

I had three children in 3.5 years and while I knew I wanted to stay home with them while they were little, I was worried about having a big gap on my resume.

Starting my own business when my youngest was 10 months old was the solution. I would take a few consulting jobs here and there around my husband’s shifts and that way I could keep my skills and experience up-to-date.
